Having asked upstream during today's FusionForge meeting, it seems no
one is currently working on implementing pull-request + merge workflows
on FusionForge which could be as "convenient" as GitHub's. So the ticket
pointed above is unfortunately up to date.

It is on the roadmap to (discuss how/what, at least) though.

It also seems that some sponsoring of upstream FusionForge development
could help.

If Debian has money to spend, I guess we have good contacts to upstream
developers that may happily accept to job (not speaking of myself, in
case it isn't clear).

Any comments ?

Best regards,
